The Kodak Charmera mixes three trends in one – the retro craze, the resurgence of compact cameras, and the blind box – and the trend trifecta proved successful: the tiny working keychain camera sold out in a day. But the company has just reopened pre-orders for a second round, allowing fans to get their hands on the $30 / £30 / AU$46 camera with shipping at the end of October.
The Kodak Charmera is a tiny camera, but despite its size and keychain, the Charmera still takes pictures. The Charmera uses a 1.6MP 1/4-inch sensor to take snapshots. That low-resolution camera, like the retro design on the outside, is a nod to nostalgic snapshots, taking low-fi snapshots.
